Esoteric Doesn't Have To Mean Obscure!
Explore the inner traditions of the West with GNOSIS Magazine. We're dedicated to presenting highly readable information on esoteric spiritual and occult paths ... material that you won't find in any other journal. Four times a year, GNOSIS
brings you ...
・ A variety of perspectives: GNOSIS doesn't push a single set of religious beliefs as the only answer, so you won't be preached at. We steer a middle course between the “true believers" and the closed-minded skeptics, and don't shrink from controversial topics. We enjoy surprising our readers with the unpredictable.
・ Clear, knowledgeable, and entertaining writing: GNOSIS avoids the foggy, sentimental prose so common in New Age and spiritual writing. Our emphasis on clarity (with an occasional dash of humor!) bridges the gap between experts and beginners.
・ First-rate design: Our excellent graphic design, beautiful covers, and striking illustrations are a pleasure all by themselves!
GNOSIS often sells out quickly at bookstores and issues become instant collector's items.
